Laura Linney will return to Broadway in a spring 2027 world premiere of David Hare‘s Montauk, the Manhattan Theatre Club announced today. Daniel Sullivan will direct.

The play will debut next spring at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Also today, MTC announced that Linney has been named as the non-prof company’s first Artist-in-Residence. This new position, the company said, “reflects a deepening of Linney’s 35-year relationship with MTC and her ongoing commitment to the company as her theatrical home.”

In her new role as Artist-in-Residence, Linney will continue to work on developing projects for upcoming seasons at MTC, as well as participating in MTC’s educational and community outreach programs.

“Laura Linney is one of the most versatile actors of our time,” said MTC Artistic Director Nicki Hunter. “Her artistry, intelligence, and generosity make her the ideal partner for this brand-new initiative for MTC. We are thrilled to welcome her in this expanded capacity, cementing a commitment to working together in the future, and to collaborate on David Hare’s Montauk, directed by Daniel Sullivan. We’re proud to be giving this play its world premiere on Broadway.”

“I could not be more proud to be Manhattan Theatre Club’s first Artist-in-Residence,” Linney said in a statement. “MTC has been my theatrical home for decades, and I feel very honored indeed to kick off this new position.”

MTC describes Montauk as “a visceral portrait of two artists with violently different approaches to art and life. Jared Speight is a stubborn titan of Long Island abstraction when star writer Roxy Margaux first becomes infatuated with his bravado. But over a decade of romantic and career entanglements, their different reasons for making art become painfully clear. Intelligent and intimate, this world premiere asks far-reaching questions about our passions and the sacrifices we make for them.”

Linney is a five-time Tony Award nominee and four-time Emmy Award winner, and her MTC credits include Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, My Name is Lucy Barton and Summer, 1976. Hare is a three-time Tony Award nominee and two-time Olivier Award winner whose plays include Plenty and Skylight. Tony Award winner Sullivan directed Linney in Summer, 1976 and The Little Foxes.

Additional casting, creative team, and production details for Montauk will be announced at a later date.
